Hartsville, S.C. - The Cobra men's tennis team dropped their third straight Conference Carolinas match on Sunday, as they lost 7-2 to the Mount Olive College Trojans. The loss drops the Cobras to 1-8 overall, and 0-3 in the conference, while the Trojans improve to 4-10 overall, and 3-1 in the conference.

Much like their female counterparts, the Cobra men got their lone doubles win at the No. 2 doubles spot, with Mark Vial (Adelaide, Australia) and Jeremiah Dye (Summerville, SC) winning 8-6.

Mount Olive brought home five of six singles wins, but it was Coker's Vial at the No. 1 singles spot that got the Cobras their one singles win, 6-4, 6-2.

Coker returns action on Saturday, when they travel to Wingate University for a 1:30 p.m. match.
